As CBS continues finalizing its 2019-20 roster, the Bear thinks the network will keep a certain night of programming relatively untouched.

With a solid 0.81 live + same day average rating among adults 18-49, “Hawaii Five-O” is likely to be renewed for another season. Barring any behind-the-scenes creative decisions that could bring an end to the series, the Bear doesn’t see why CBS would want to say goodbye to it this year.

Since both “MacGyver” and “Blue Bloods” are considered likely renewals as well, the Bear has a good feeling that CBS’ primetime Friday night lineup will remain the same later this fall.

The Renew/Cancel Index is the amount above (or below) a replacement-level rating — i.e., the expected adults 18-49 rating of an emergency fill-in show should a series be canceled. For the 2018-19 season, replacement level is a 0.6 same-day rating in adults 18-49 for the Big 4 networks and a 0.1 for The CW. (Read more here.) The index number is taken by subtracting 0.6 (or 0.1) from a show’s average same-day rating.

Friday scripted shows (denoted with an “F” above) on the Big 4 have average ratings about 30 percent lower than those of other nights, therefore their ratings are multiplied by 1.43 (1/0.7, or 70 percent) before subtracting the replacement-level number.

Shows that have ended their seasons have their R/C Index number frozen at the point of their final episode.

(O) – Owned: All other things equal, shows owned by studios affiliated with their networks have a better shot at renewal than those from outside producers.
